Context. Star formation takes place in giant molecular clouds, resulting in mass-segregated
young stellar clusters composed of Sun-like stars, brown dwarfs, and massive O-type (50 …

In this chapter we review recent advances in understanding the roles that magnetic fields
play throughout the star formation process, gained through observations and simulations of …

The ATOMS, standing for ALMA Three-millimeter Observations of Massive Star-forming
regions, survey has observed 146 active star-forming regions with ALMA band 3, aiming to …

Context. Investigating the flow of material along filamentary structures towards the central
core can help provide insights into high-mass star formation and evolution. Aims. Our main …

The presence of Galactic cirrus is an obstacle for studying both faint objects in our Galaxy
and low surface brightness extragalactic structures. With the aim of studying individual cirrus …

Context. Recent Herschel observations of nearby molecular clouds have shown that
filamentary structures are ubiquitous and that most prestellar cores form in dense filaments …

We studied the hub-filament system G323. 46-0.08 based on archival molecular line data
from the SEDIGISM 13 CO survey and infrared data from the GLIMPSE, MIPS, and Hi-GAL …

Context. The interstellar medium is observed to be organized in filamentary structures, and
in neutral (HI) and ionized (H II) bubbles. The expanding nature of these bubbles shapes the …

As we learn more about the multi-scale interstellar medium (ISM) of our Galaxy, we develop
a greater understanding for the complex relationships between the large-scale diffuse gas …

Context. Filamentary structures in the interstellar medium are closely related to star
formation. It is possible that the dense gas mass fraction (DGMF) or clump formation …
